Yeah, I myself run a Surface Laptop Go 2 as my personal portable computing device of choice -- much less fancy specs, only an 1135g7/16/512 and the cooling won't even let it scale the same as my old Elitebook 840G8 that had the same CPU -- but it has a 1536x1024 3:2 display and it is amazing to...

Got the dock in yesterday, although my MST DisplayPort hub isn't in just yet. I just about used up every single USB port on the damn thing getting my DAC/amp and XLR interface hooked up, but in actual use, it's definitely a bit speedier than the 3770K. Obviously for games the sheer power on tap...

Just a reminder written in blood that we're all supposed to be using AUR packages at our own risk and that we ought to be auditing everything we install from there. Arch/Cachy just plain has more in its repos than Debian does, as far as stuff I actually use, anyway -- and those, at least thus...

I plan to actually use it like a regular computer when it's not gaming, so I'm going to make more use of the AUR. I used it all the time in the past for installing certain games or source ports.

At present, the handheld is due back in sometime tomorrow. It's coming FedEx, which means I should actually probably expect it to be delayed another week and be smashed to bits when it gets here. ;) I think I massively overstated how limited the Deck was, actually -- yes, the Deck was kind of...

The Ally is on its way back as of today. It should hopefully make it back before the month's out.

There's a reason I flat out refuse to purchase anything but dumb displays. It means my 4K TV in my living room is a 43" Sceptre, but I'd prefer that to these kinds of abhominations. I've been interested and that may just have been the push I needed to go watch The Odyssey. I haven't gone to a...

It's probably about time I got my eyes examined again.

Wonder if Scott Jennings will be having any 20-minute in depth conversations about policy and senate history with the late Lindsey Graham. Didn't have on my bingo card for the year Graham going officially before McConnell, but here we are. We all know McConnell's at a minimum not in a fit state...

I did end up taking the discount. I really needed the impetus to get rid of a bunch of junk I'm never going to use again, anyway, and list it on eBay. Merc, you're more optimistic than I am, is all I'll say. I don't have any concrete ideas about how it'll happen yet simply because so many parts...

I agree, but I also think this is the best I'm likely to get in These Current Times(tm). It's not an amazing deal but considering they could have just told me it was their way or the highway, any discount at all seems like more than I should have reasonably expected. Yeah, ID software is just...

They sent a fairly generous 35% off offer which just barely brings it back into the range where I'm considering paying what they're asking. I was expecting them to come back with a pithy 5 or 10% figure. Maybe they know their initial quote was off-base.

It's sad because Kentucky is a beautiful state and I grew up there and wouldn't trade it for anything, but they make some awfully questionable decisions up there. I say. From Florida.

It got "escalated" over the weekend, and yeah, now they want me to pay for a replacement board. Basically as much as if I were to go and buy another handheld entirely. I get that I'm the one who messed it up, and I understand the supply crunch we're in, but I'm simply not paying that much for...

Nothing more US-american than celebrity marriages and blowing off your fingers with pretty explosives while you eat your weight in various meats. I stayed home and played a video game. Been getting pretty into Project Diablo 2, got a Vengeance Paladin build going. Very squishy in Hell, I need...
